Maxim Fastovsky 124 Posted March 21, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I wasn't familiar with karate, so i looked it up on youtube, so umm, is Kata like synchronized dancing? why is it in the olympics? If thats in maybe they should've added pro wrestling, it's japan after all, Omega vs Okada for the gold Edited March 21, 2018 by Maxim Fastovsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted March 21, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yeah they should have dropped kata and made the kumite events have 16 athletes each. phelps and thepharoah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw I find team kata much more interesting than individuals , but considering the fact that Japan put Karate in the 5 suggested sports to dominate it , it's not a big surprise that they add Kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball/Softball is the same thing, they should have either made it an 8 team tournament or don't bother hosting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Kata is a more interesting addition than Kumite because it’s much more unique at the Olympics. Kumite just looks very samey. I would be quite happy to give up Kumite for a team Kata event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
